Romanian Easter

Romanian traditions
Here, Easter is the second most imporant religious holiday so we have many traditions related to it. One of them is to paint eggs red then crack them and say "Christ has ressurected!" and "He truly has!".



On the Ressurection Night we go to Church and we eat "pasca" (hallowed bread and wine). On the following day we eat lamb, boiled red eggs, traditional pie "cozonac" (a sweet bread with different fillings).



I love Easter because all the family gets together. ^_^ Catalina/

FROM CATALIN P:

I understand you have a nearly agressive Easter. :P We, on the other hand, have a lot of respect for the female sex.







They are considered flowers, that boys have to "water" - with perfume - and sing a short poem, encouraging the flower to blossom. It'a a spring-related habbit, signaling the coming of the warmer season, and the blossoming flowers!







We have traditional dished for easter - most noticeable are the lamb stakes and the coloured eggs, but this varies between regios! We also greet eachother with the sentence "Jesus resurected!", and "Truely, he did", after the easter day, for 40 days.
